deleting routes

Ragni Singh — Fri, 27 Dec 2002 18:15:56 GMT

Hey all,

does one have to down the interface and then remove routes or can it be done with the interface up. I tried a route delete and its still showing as being up. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You should be able to delete the route with the interface up. Show us a netstat -rn and the syntax of your delete attempt, please.

You should be able to delete routes while the interface is up. I've done it a few times with my interfaces up with no trouble. Did you enter the destination and the gateway on your route delete?

Hi Sanjay,

route delete is very picky about it's syntax. I'd suggest you do a
netstat -rvn
to get verbose output.
Then use that info to construct the route delete command - EX: if it was entered as a route add net statement then it must be a route delete net statement to remove it. And remember any netmasks used in the add - they must be in the delete as well.

Rgds,
Jeff

Here is the syntax I typed and the result I got back. I think it worked.
